Abstract

Purpose – This study aimed to formulate a conceptual framework to investigate the influence of attitude, perceived behavioral control, subjective norms, financial risk, social risk, and security risk on the intention to use halal toiletries among Gen Z consumers in West Java.Methodology – Purposive sampling was used in this study. The respondents were 400 Gen Z Muslims residing in West Java Province. Data analysis was conducted using Structural Equation Modeling with Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS).Findings – Variables from the Theory of Planned Behavior (attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control) positively influenced the intention to use halal toiletries. Financial, social, and security risks negatively impact Gen Z consumers' intentions to use halal toiletries.Implications – Halal toiletries should focus on enhancing product performance to receive positive consumer feedback and increase interest. Additionally, they need to promote community engagement; improve product accessibility and user-friendliness; and address security, social, and financial risks to effectively boost consumer intention.Originality – This research integrates components of risk perception with the Theory to create a comprehensive framework for understanding Gen Z’s intention to use halal toiletries. It contributes to the literature by highlighting how specific types of risks impact consumer intentions and offers actionable recommendations for the halal toiletries industry based on empirical evidence.

Abstract

Purpose – The purpose of this study is to explore the impact of socio-cultural factors on entrepreneurial failure in Soran City, aiming to identify the key cultural influences that affect entrepreneurial outcomes and to propose a theoretical framework that explains these dynamics.Methodology – The research employed a qualitative approach, conducting structured interviews with 10 purposively sampled entrepreneurs who hold leadership roles in the entrepreneurial community of Soran. Data collection involved preparing, structuring, and organizing interview transcripts, followed by coding to identify themes and patterns. The analysis then focused on interpreting the socio-cultural significance of the identified factors in relation to entrepreneurial failure.Findings – This study found that socio-cultural factors significantly influence entrepreneurial outcomes. The key factors identified included societal values and norms, gender roles, family background, and educational background. While gender did not emerge as a prominent factor in this study, other socio-cultural elements played a critical role in shaping entrepreneurial success or failure.Implications – The findings highlight the importance of understanding cultural nuances in entrepreneurship. The study suggests that promoting an entrepreneurial culture through targeted community training workshops, educational courses, and media initiatives could enhance entrepreneurial activity and reduce the risk of failure in Soran.Originality – This research introduces the multidimensional socio-cultural constraints theory (MDSC Theory), which provides a novel explanation of how various socio-cultural factors cumulatively contribute to entrepreneurial failure. This theory offers a new perspective on the challenges faced by entrepreneurs in culturally specific contexts, emphasizing the need for culturally informed strategies to foster entrepreneurial success.

Abstract

Purpose – This study explores the transformation of zakat distribution principles as outlined in Nahdlatul Ulama’s Fatwa Bahtsul Masail and its implications for Indonesia's legal regulations. The goal is to understand how these principles can enhance zakat management by addressing social inequality and poverty alleviation.Methodology – A normative juridical approach was used, with a descriptive analytical study based on a literature review. The research focuses on four main aspects: analyzing zakat distribution principles in the context of Indonesian law, examining the legal reasoning (istinbath hukum) behind these principles, identifying factors driving and hindering the transformation, and assessing the significance of implementing these principles in Indonesian legal frameworks.Findings – This study identifies three main principles—justice, equality, and regionality—that should be integrated into regulatory frameworks. It also highlights challenges, including a lack of public participation in zakat distribution through official institutions, such as NU CARE-LAZISNU.Implications – The findings suggest the need for increased socialization of zakat management principles by the National Amil Zakat Agency (Badan Amil Zakat Nasional, BAZNAS), based on both Sharia and secure legal regulations, to enhance the effectiveness of zakat management in Indonesia.Originality – This research provides valuable insights into the evolving principles of zakat distribution and their integration into legal frameworks, contributing to the adaptation of zakat management practices to contemporary challenges in Indonesia.

Abstract

Purpose – This study aims to identify and analyze the key determinants influencing small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) compliance with trade zakat obligations in East Java, where zakat collection from the SME sector remains relatively low despite its socioeconomic potential.Methodology – This study adopts a quantitative approach utilizing Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) to analyze data collected through a structured questionnaire distributed to SME owners in East Java. In total, 171 valid responses were obtained. The six variables examined included entrepreneurs’ attitude, zakat literacy, role of zakat administrators, length of business, profitability, religiosity, and zakat.Findings – The results show that zakat administrators have a significant positive influence on SMEs’ willingness to pay zakat, whereas religiosity, zakat literacy, and entrepreneurs’ attitudes do not significantly affect willingness to pay. Additionally, religiosity, zakat administrators, and length of business significantly affected zakat literacy among SME owners.Implications – The findings highlight the strategic role of zakat administrators in promoting zakat compliance. Strengthening institutional roles and outreach programs can help increase zakat literacy and willingness to pay among SMEs, contributing to more effective zakat collection and socioeconomic development.Originality – This study contributes to the limited empirical literature on trade zakat compliance among SMEs in Indonesia by examining institutional and behavioral factors using a structured SEM approach. This underscores the need to shift focus toward institutional effectiveness rather than solely on individual religiosity or awareness.
